Please BE CAREFUL #onstorm chasers considering chasing after dark in the SW. Maintaining situational awareness will be difficult, and the lake will limit escape routes. Residents: Keep phones bedside & heed warnings. A strong 🌪 is not out of the question.

He came to me with limitless love before I’d learned to love myself. He had the space in his heart to share me when my future husband joined our lives. He rolled with the punches (literally) when the kids came along. Today we said goodbye but, man, what a friend. Buster ❤️
